Now that input_free_device is basically an alias for input_put_device
we need to acquire a reference to input module right when we allocate
device because input_dev_release releases reference to input module
unconditionally.

Emit key up events for all pressed keys/buttons when disconnecting
an input device. Cures "stuck" enter key effect when unloading
keyboard module.

Implement a new force feedback interface, in which all non-driver-specific
operations are separated to a common module. This includes handling effect
type validations, locking, etc.
The effects are now file descriptor specific instead of the previous strange
half-process half-fd specific behaviour. The effect memory of devices is not
emptied if the root user opens and closes the device while another user is
using effects. This is a minor change and most likely no force feedback
aware programs are affected by this negatively.
Otherwise the userspace interface is left unaltered.

The start() method need to be called every time we create
a new handle. This includes not only registering new devices
but also when registering new handlers.

Create input_inject_event() function which is to be used by input
handlers as opposed to input_event() which is reserved for drivers
implementing input devices. The difference is that if device is
"grabbed" by some process input_inject_event() will ignore events
unless sent from the handle that is currently owns the device.

The new start() method is called immediately after connect() and also
when "grabbed" device is released by its owner. This will allow input
handlers to re-synchronize state of once-grabbed device with the rest
of devices.

This method used to enforce exclusive access to iforce devices,
but presenlty there are no known users of this method.

It should be done before calling class_device_unregister() because
it will destroy the device and free memory if there are no other
references to the device.

Name, phys and uniq are quite often constant strings in moules implementing
particular input device. If a module unregisters input device and then gets
unloaded, the device could still be present in memory (pinned via sysfs),
but aforementioned members would point to some random memory. Set them all
to NULL when unregistering so sysfs handlers won't try dereferencing them.

sysfs can't handle more than PAGE_SIZE data coming from attributes'
show() methods; make sure we respect this limit.

Mark the f_ops members of inodes as const, as well as fix the
ripple-through this causes by places that copy this f_ops and then "do
stuff" with it.
